Maurice, I am glad to hear that. At least in this respect this restores a tiny bit faith into believing that somebody at Autodesk is actually listening to us and is interested in our points of view.
Although I am pretty sure that the main reason for this adjustment is probably not empathy but the realisation that a significant amount of relevant customers would have gone off subscription otherwise... But either way - thanks for this adjustment. -M -- Martin Chatterjee [ Freelance Technical Director ] [ http://www.chatterjee.de ] [ https://vimeo.com/chatterjee ] On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 8:04 PM, Jason S <jasonsta...@gmail.com> wrote: > And is indeed encouraging to see that SOME consideration is at play.. > thank you. > > > On 03/07/14 14:02, Jason S wrote: > >> >> Would that also extend ability to scale (get new licences) ?
